Challenge of the competition
Objective-The objective of this competition is to build an air vehicle which will carry two eggs to a target destination 100 yards away from the start point. The vehicle must stop within 20 feet of the destination and both eggs must be intact for the design to be considered successful. Extra points will be given, in the event of a tie, based on proximity to landing zone, cargo condition, design economy, and style/innovation points. Judges will attribute points based on these criteria using a ten point system.

The theory and design of the coilgun, including diagrams and schematics, is now available for viewing and download.
